Operation and Adjustment
THE PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
WALKING BELT
Your TREKKER features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your TREKKER, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your TREKKER being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with your TREKKER (see draw-
ing 1 at the right).
To purchase a surge suppressor, see your local
NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-825-2588 and order
part number 146148. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The TREKKER is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary TREKKER combines state-of-the-art
technology with innovate design to provide you with a
motivating and effective form of exercise in the conve-
nience of your home.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
grade and speed of the TREKKER can be changed with
a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
track your heart rate using the optional heart rate moni-
tor (for information about the optional heart rate
monitor, see page 19).
The console also offers fifteen preset programs. Each
preset program automatically controls the grade and
speed of the TREKKER to simulate a hiking trail as it
guides you through an effective workout. Choose from
moderate, challenging, and extreme programs.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the TREKKER to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFit.com CD programs (CD’s are available sep-
arately). IFit.com CD programs automatically control
the grade and speed of the TREKKER as a personal
trainer walks you through every step of your workout.
High-energy music provides added motivation. Each
CD features two programs designed by certified per-
sonal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the TREKKER to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of exercising with a class and an instruc-
tor— the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the TREKKER connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com
and access audio programs and video programs directly
from the internet. And by adding an optional upgrade
module to the TREKKER, you can use virtually endless
features from our internet site. See www.iFIT.com for
complete details. To purchase iFIT.com CD’s or
videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768. To
order the optional upgrade module, see page 19.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. In addition, the Speed
display will flash three times if the speed is about
to change, and the Vertical Feet/Cals./Grade dis-
play will flash if the grade is about to change.
When the first segment is completed, all grade set-
tings in the matrix will move one column to the left.
The grade setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column and the TREKKER will automatically adjust
to the grade and speed settings for the second
segment.
The program will continue until the grade setting
for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time re-
mains in the program. The walking belt will then
slow to a stop.
If the grade or speed setting for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Grade or
Speed buttons on the console. Every few times
one of the Grade buttons is pressed, an additional
indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment
column of the matrix. Important: If you manually
override the grade or speed setting for the cur-
rent segment, when the segment ends the
TREKKER will automatically adjust to the grade
and speed settings for the next segment. Note:
Because each program is based on a preset dis-
tance, if you manually increase the speed, the
time remaining in the current segment and the
time remaining in the program will decrease; if you
manually decrease the speed, the time remaining
in the current segment and the time remaining in
the program will increase.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. The displays will pause and the Distance/
Time display will begin to flash. To restart the pro-
gram, press the Start button or the Speed + button.
To end the program, press the Stop button, remove
the key, and then re-insert the key. Pressing the
Moderate, Challenging, or Extreme button will also
end the program and will select the next preset
program or the manual mode.
Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 11.
When the program is completed, remove the
key.
Step onto the foot rails and remove the key from
the console. Make sure to keep the key in a secure
place. Note: If the displays and indicators on
the console remain lit after the key is removed,
the console is in the “demo” mode. Refer to
page 19 and turn off the demo mode.
When you are finished using the TREKKER, move
the on/off switch near the power cord to the off po-
sition and unplug the power cord.

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE
The console features an information mode that keeps
track of the total number of hours that the TREKKER
has been operated and the total number of miles that
the walking belt has moved. The information mode
also allows you to switch the console from miles to
kilometers. In addition, the information mode allows
you to turn on and turn off the demo mode.
To select the information mode, hold down the Stop

hours that the TREKKER
has been used.
IMPORTANT: Make sure
that there is not a letter
“d” in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If a “d” appears in the
display, the console is in the
“demo” mode. This mode is
intended to be used only when a TREKKER is dis-
played in a store. When the console is in the demo
mode, the power cord can be plugged in, the key can
be removed from the console, and the displays and in-

Trouble-shooting
Most problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the
steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-888-825-
2588, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 8). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-
sor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation
of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
Important: The TREKKER is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the TREKKER
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in.
d. Check the on/off switch located on the TREKKER
near the power cord. The switch must be in the on
position.
